Go get it ( maybe consider using a mirror ), play with it, test it, and file reports. Dont use it in production.
As in the past, we highly encourage people to use the official beta builds from Red Hat and to report issues athttp://bugzilla.redhat.com/
Within CentOS, we are going to do a CentOS7Beta1 build to match the release upsteam, and do it in a manner that allows lots of people to get involved and track progress. Keep an eye out on posts on the centos-devel list to see how you can get involved and help with the CentOS Builds and testing process.
There seems to be only x86_64 release ? That would be in the current
trend...
that is really an issue for us because we use EL for some small i586 hw (router etc.).
Indeed. Now RHEL/CentOS won't be able to run on PC Engines ALIX hardware (with PAE enabled in CentOS 6 the kernel needed recompiled, but that's not too horrible). I opted to run another distro, so I never went through all the work for ALIX hardware.
In a way it's a shame... At the same time I can see why RH is going x86_64 only ... much hardware in data centers is 64bit capable and running 64bit OSes.
And they're also will be supporting three releases (5, 6, 7) for a period of time as well.
It's probably a good time to consider other alternatives. :-/ Fedora, Debian, Voyage, OpenWrt, Gentoo, etc, etc.
Unless it's embedded hardware ... by the time EL6 isn't supported I'll be you'll have a beefier x86_64 machine as a firewall! :)
